Preparing for Installation of Siebel Handheld Applications

Prior to installing a Siebel Handheld application on a handheld device, you must first edit and verify the setup.ini parameters. Following this step, you may then install the Siebel Handheld application on the handheld device. See the Siebel Handheld Administration Guide for the Siebel Handheld application you are using.

NOTE:  Store-and-Forward Messaging is supported for Direct Server Synchronization mode, but not for Companion Synchronization.

To verify and edit the setup.ini parameters

1. Open the application's setup.ini file.

   For information on working with the setup.ini file, see the Siebel Handheld Administration Guide for the Siebel Handheld application you are using.

2. Change or verify the following parameter:
   • SyncURL = http://[server IP address]/servicece_enu/

     The SyncURL parameter is required to specify the URL to perform Siebel Handheld synchronization. This value is saved in registry on device. You can find this parameter in the [Siebel] section of the setup.ini file. The server IP address must be specified with the Web server's IP address.

3. Change or verify the following parameter values in the [Wireless Messaging] section.
   • QueuingSoftware = MQE

     QueuingSoftware can be MQE or NONE (if NONE is used, the Wireless Messaging feature is disabled)

   • SMQCompression = GZIP

     [Optional parameter] SMQ Compression setting. The valid values could be GZIP or blank. If this parameter is blank, no compression is applied.

   • SMQEncryption = RC4

     [Optional parameter] SMQ Encryption setting. The valid values could be RC4 or blank. If blank, no encryption is applied.

     If MQE is selected for QueuingSoftware, the following parameters need to be specified:

   • MQeServerQMgr = ServerQM

     MQe server Queue Manager name. The default value is ServerQM. It should be the same as the subsystem parameter "SmqQueueManagerName" in the subsystem specified in the Queue Info field in Store-and-Forward Applications View.

   • MQeServerQueue = InboundQ

     MQe server Queue name. The default value is InboundQ. It should be the same as the subsystem parameter "SmqQueueName" in the subsystem specified in the Queue Info field in Store-and-Forward Applications View.

   • MQeServerAddr = [MQe Server Name]

     MQe server address. The server domain name or IP address of the machine running the Queue Manager. For information, see Configuring a Queue Manager on the Computer Hosting Siebel Server. Make sure the domain name or IP address is resolvable from the handheld devices in the deployed environment.

   • MQeServerPort = 8082

     MQe Server Port number. The default value is 8082. It should be the same as the subsystem parameter "SmqServerPortNumber" in the subsystem specified in the Queue Info field in Store-and-Forward Application View.

If you do not want to enable Store-and-Forward Messaging for a Siebel Handheld application, comment out the entire [WirelessMessaging] section in the setup.ini file for the application.
